  FIG. 3A is a schematic view of a process indication bar A displayed by the process management device 100 according to the present embodiment. Here, the display means to visually indicate to the user such as display by the display 110 and printing by the printer 120. The process indicator bar A has a reference bar B (first bar) representing the scheduled quantity and time, and a performance bar C (second bar) representing the actual quantity and time.

  The process indicator bar A is set for each item handled in the process designated by the user. In other words, the unit represented by one process indication bar A is a combination of one process (for example, manufacturing process) and an article (for example, an item to be manufactured). A process is an operation from starting processing of an article of a certain type to completion. That is, in the production, the process from the start of production to completion of the article, in the transport from the start of transport of the article to the end of transport, and in storage, from the start of storage of the article to the end of storage are one step. For example, when there are a plurality of lines corresponding to one article in one process, a plurality of process indication bars A may be set for one article. In addition, one process indication rod A may be set across a plurality of processes and a plurality of articles. It may be preset by the user, or may be automatically set by the process control device 100 as to which process and item the process display rod A is to be set.

  The reference bar B has a cylindrical shape consisting of two bottom surfaces parallel to each other and side surfaces connecting the two bottom surfaces, and the positions of the two bottom surfaces are referred to as a start end Bs and an end end Be. The start end Bs corresponds to the start of the process (at the start), the end Be corresponds to the completion of the process, and the length from the start end Bs to the end Be (ie the height Bx of the reference bar B) is a reference Correspond to time. The reference time is a time (period) in which the process is scheduled to be performed. That is, the height Bx of the reference bar B is set to be larger as the scheduled time for the process to be performed is longer, and to be smaller as the scheduled time is shorter. For example, the height Bx of the reference rod B may be set to be proportional to the scheduled time, or may be set to change stepwise according to the scheduled time. The rule of the height Bx of the reference bar B according to the scheduled time is not limited to the one illustrated here, but is arbitrarily determined and recorded in advance in the process control device 100.

  The diameter of the bottom of the reference bar B at the start end Bs and the end end Be (that is, the thickness By of the reference bar B) corresponds to the ability. Capacity (for example, manufacturing capacity, transportation capacity and storage capacity) is the number of articles to be treated as scheduled per unit time (for example, one day) in the process. That is, the thickness By of the reference bar B is set to be larger as the planned quantity per unit time of the articles handled in the process is larger and smaller as the planned quantity is smaller. For example, the thickness By of the reference rod B may be set to be proportional to the planned quantity, or may be set to change stepwise according to the planned quantity. The rule of the thickness By of the reference bar B according to the planned quantity is not limited to the one illustrated here, but is arbitrarily determined and recorded in advance in the process control device 100.

  The performance rod C has a cylindrical shape having two bottom surfaces parallel to each other and sides connecting the two bottom surfaces, and the positions of the two bottom surfaces are referred to as a start end Cs and an end end Ce. The start end Cs corresponds to the start of the process (at the start), the end Ce corresponds to the completion of the process, and the length from the start Cs to the end Ce (ie the height Cx of the result bar C) is the result Correspond to time. Actual time is the time (period) in which the process was performed as actual. In addition, as a performance time, when a process is completed, the time from the start of a process to completion is used, and when it is in the middle of a process, the time from the start of a process to the timing of a display object is used. That is, the height Cx of the actual result stick C is set to be larger as the actual time for which the process has been performed is longer and to be smaller as the actual time is shorter. For example, the height Cx of the performance bar C may be set to be proportional to the performance time, or may be set to change stepwise according to the performance time. The rule of the height Cx of the performance bar C according to the performance time is not limited to the one illustrated here, but is arbitrarily determined and recorded in advance in the process management apparatus 100.

  The diameter of the bottom of the actual result bar C at the start end Cs and the end end Ce (ie, the thickness Cy of the actual result bar C) corresponds to the actual quantity. The actual quantity is the quantity of articles (manufactured, stored or transported) which were treated as actual per unit time (the same as the unit time used in the capability of the reference bar B) in the process. That is, the thickness Cy of the actual result stick C is set to be larger as the actual quantity per unit time of the articles handled in the process is larger, and to be smaller as the actual quantity is smaller. For example, the thickness Cy of the actual result stick C may be set to be proportional to the actual quantity, or may be set to change stepwise according to the actual quantity. The rule of the thickness Cy of the performance bar C according to the performance quantity is not limited to the one exemplified here but is arbitrarily determined, and is recorded in the process control device 100 in advance.

  As the thickness By and Cy of the reference bar B and the actual bar C, prices (ie, unit price of goods × quantity) may be used instead of planned and actual quantities. Using the price of an item makes it easy to compare a plurality of process indication bars associated with items having different unit prices. An index that can represent the value of the item being treated in the process, such as the quantity and price of the item, is collectively referred to herein as the value of the item. In other words, the value of the article is calculated based on at least one of the quantity and the price of the article, and the thicknesses By and Cy of the reference bar B and the actual bar C correspond to the value per unit time of the article. The thicknesses By and Cy are set to be larger as the value is higher and smaller as the value is lower.

  The performance bar C is displayed so as to overlap the reference bar B. In the reference bar B and the result bar C, the start end Bs of the reference bar B and the start end Cs of the result bar C are close to each other, and the direction from the start end Bs to the end end Be of the reference bar B and the start of the result bar C It is arranged such that the direction from the end Cs to the end end Ce is parallel. Since the start end Bs of the reference bar B and the start end Cs of the result bar C completely coincide with each other, it is difficult to distinguish the appearance of the reference bar B and the result bar C. It is desirable that a gap of a predetermined length (for example, 5% or less of the height Bx of the reference bar B) be provided between the start end Cs of the bar C.

  The reference bar B and the performance bar C are inclined from the direction (parallel and not perpendicular) to the direction from the start end Bs, Cs to the end end Be, Ce (that is, the height direction of the reference bar B and the performance bar C) It is displayed as a plan view. This allows the user to easily compare the sizes of the reference bar B and the actual bar C.

  In other words, the reference bar B and the performance bar C in FIG. 3A are displayed as perspective images.

  The appearances such as the color and pattern of the reference bar B and the performance bar C are displayed differently from each other. This allows the user to easily distinguish between the reference bar B and the performance bar C. In addition, characters such as “criterion” and “performance” may be attached inside or near the reference rod B and the performance rod C to distinguish them.

  An exemplary process indicator bar A is shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C. In the process indication bar A of FIG. 3B, the thickness Cy of the result bar C is thinner than the thickness By of the reference bar B, and the height Cx of the result bar C is displayed longer than the height Bx of the reference bar B There is. Therefore, in the process of FIG. 3B, it can be easily seen that the actual quantity per unit time is smaller than the planned quantity and the actual time is longer than the planned time. In the process indication bar A of FIG. 3C, the thickness Cy of the result bar C is thicker than the thickness By of the reference bar B, and the height Cx of the result bar C is displayed shorter than the height Bx of the reference bar B There is. Therefore, in the process of FIG. 3C, it can be easily seen that the actual quantity per unit time is larger than the planned quantity, and the actual time is shorter than the planned time.

  With such a display method, the difference in the shape of the reference bar B and the result bar C is displayed larger as the difference between the schedule and the results for at least one of the quantity (value) of the articles handled in the process and the process time increases. . Therefore, the user can visually know the difference between the schedule and the performance of the process for the quantity in addition to the time from the appearance of the process display rod A.

  FIG. 4 is a front view of the display 110 displaying the process display information D according to the present embodiment. The process indication information D includes at least one process indication bar A. The output of the process display information D is not limited to the screen display by the display 110, and may be performed by any method that can be visually displayed to the user, such as printing by the printer 120.

  The process management apparatus 100 receives specification of a process (here, the process of transport Y) by the user via the input device 105, and all process display rods A associated with the process are vertically displayed in the process display information D. Display side by side.

  Furthermore, the process control device 100 processes the process indication bar A associated with the process (here, the process of the factory X and the process of the warehouse Z) performed before and after the specified process with the process related to the specified process. The display rod A is displayed side by side. Relationships between processes (that is, contexts between processes) are defined in advance and recorded in the process control device 100. In order to maintain the consistency of the displayed contents, the process display bar A displayed simultaneously for the specified process and the processes before and after it is generated from process information of the same timing (for example, specified time or end of day) Ru.

  Thus, by displaying the process indication rods A of the process designated by the user and the processes before and after it side by side, the user can go over the process indication rods A of the mutually related processes at one time. Analysis becomes easy.

  In FIG. 4, the process indication rods A related to the designated process are arranged in the vertical direction, and the process indication rods A related to the processes before and after that are arranged in the lateral direction. Not limited to this, the process display rods A for the specified process are arranged in the left and right direction, and the process display rods A for the previous and subsequent processes are arranged in the vertical direction, etc. The process display rods A of the front and back processes may be arranged in directions different from each other.

  In addition, the process management apparatus 100 receives specification of the process display rod A by the user via the input device 105, and displays detailed information E related to the specified process display rod A on or near the process display rod A. Do. The detailed information E includes, for example, the name of an article (kind) related to the process display rod A, a reference time, an actual time, a capacity, and an actual quantity. Alternatively, the detailed information E may further include a value indicating the ratio of the difference in magnitude between the reference bar B and the performance bar C. The detailed information E may be displayed in the process display information D for all the process display bars A being displayed, without receiving the specification of the process display bar A by the user. Although the specific example of the detailed information E has been described in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the process display rod A indicates information on transportation, the detailed information E may further include information indicating the name of the flight, the date and time when the flight departed, and the estimated date and time of arrival of the flight. Also, for example, when the process display bar A indicates information on a warehouse, the detailed information E may further include the name of the warehouse and the storage location (location information).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flowchart of a process display process performed in the process management method according to the present embodiment. The process display process is performed by the process management apparatus 100. The process display process is started, for example, by the user performing an operation of designating a process to be subjected to the process display from the input device 105 of the process management apparatus 100.

  First, the process management apparatus 100 receives and acquires process information from the base management apparatus 20 for the specified process (step S101). The process information may be received from the site management apparatus 20 each time the process display process is executed, or may be performed by reading out the process information received from the site management apparatus 20 and recorded in the process management apparatus 100 in advance.

  Next, from the process information acquired in step S101, the process management apparatus 100 determines the thickness corresponding to the ability to handle the articles in the process (that is, the planned quantity of articles handled per unit time) and the reference time of the process (that is, the process time Information for displaying a cylindrical reference bar B having a height corresponding to the scheduled time) is generated (step S102).

  Next, the process management apparatus 100 is a circle having a thickness corresponding to the actual quantity of the articles handled per unit time in the process and a height corresponding to the actual time of the process from the process information acquired in step S101. Information for displaying the column-shaped actual result bar C is generated (step S103).

  The process management apparatus 100 temporarily records, on the memory 102, information for displaying the process display bar A including the reference bar B and the performance bar C generated in steps S102 to S103.

  When generation of information for displaying the process indication bar A is not completed for all the articles related to one process (NO in step S104), steps S102 to S103 are repeated for the next article related to the process. . When the generation of the information for displaying the process display rod A for all the articles related to one process is completed (YES in step S104), the process proceeds to the next step S105.

  When generation of information for displaying the process indication rod A is not completed for the processes before and after the specified process (NO in step S105), the processes before and after the specified process are targeted. Steps S101 to S103 are repeated as

  When generation of information for displaying the process indication bar A is completed for the processes before and after the specified process (YES in step S105), the process management device 100 displays the process indication bar A from the memory 102. Of the reference bar B and the performance bar C generated at steps S102 to S103 are controlled to be displayed using the display 110, the printer 120 and the like (step S106). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the process management apparatus 100 arranges and displays the process display rods A related to the specified process in the vertical direction, and further displays the process related to the processes before and after the specified process. The bars A are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. At this time, the process control device 100 displays the appearances of the reference bar B and the result bar C so as to be different from each other.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 101 of the process management apparatus 100 is the main body of each step (process) included in the process shown in FIG. Specifically, the CPU 101 functions as an acquisition unit that executes step S101, a generation unit that executes steps S102 to S103, and a display control unit that executes step S106. The CPU 101 reads a program for executing the process shown in FIG. 5 from the memory 102 or the storage device 103, and executes the program to control each part of the process management apparatus 100 to execute the process shown in FIG. In addition, at least a part of the processing illustrated in FIG. 5 may be performed by a dedicated device or an electric circuit instead of the CPU 101.

  According to the process management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the quantity (value) and time are represented in a bar shape with respect to scheduled and actual processes. With such a configuration, the user can easily grasp the difference between the schedule and the performance from both the quantity and the time.

A set of child reference bar B1 and child actual bar C1 is associated with, for example, a line (such as a production line), and represents a reference time, an actual time, an ability, and an actual quantity of the line. Similar to the reference bar B, the child reference bar B1 has a height Bx corresponding to the reference time and a thickness By corresponding to the ability. Similar to the performance bar C, the child performance bar C1 has a height Cx corresponding to the actual time, and a Cy corresponding to the actual quantity. In other words, the plurality of child reference bars B1 included in one reference bar B necessarily represent the same reference time, but represent the same or different abilities. Also, a plurality of child achievement bars C1 included in one reference bar B necessarily represent the same achievement time but represent the same or different achievement quantities.

  The reference bar B, the child reference bar B1, and the child actual bar C1 are displayed as plan views seen obliquely from the direction from the start end Bs, Cs to the end end Be, Ce.

  The process display rod A according to the present embodiment has a two-stage multiple structure, and has a three-or-more-stage multiple structure in which a plurality of sets of a child reference bar B1 and a child performance bar C1 are further included in the child reference bar B1. May be

More specifically, for example, the present embodiment is applicable to the case where a specific article is manufactured in two manufacturing lines in a manufacturing plant. In such a case, as described above, the process control device 100 presents the user with the production status of each production line for each production line by a set of the child reference bar B1 and the child achievement bar C1. be able to. In addition, the process control device 100 can present the production status of the entire production line to the user by the combination of the reference bar B and the performance bar C. This allows the user to simultaneously and easily grasp the production status of a specific article and the production status on each production line.

Third Embodiment
In the first embodiment, cylindrical reference bars B and performance bars C are displayed, whereas in the present embodiment, planar reference bars B and performance bars C are displayed. In the present embodiment, a process management apparatus 100 and a site management apparatus 20 having the same configuration as that of the first embodiment are used.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic view of the process indication bar A displayed by the process management device 100 according to the present embodiment. The process indication stick A according to the present embodiment is a representation of the process indication stick A shown in FIG. 6 on a plane. Specifically, the reference bar B, the child reference bar B1, and the child actual bar C1 are displayed as plan views seen in the direction perpendicular to the direction from the start end Bs, Cs to the end end Be, Ce, respectively. Also by such a representation method, the process indicator bar A can represent the time and the quantity of the schedule and the result.

In the present embodiment, a process management apparatus 100 and a site management apparatus 20 having the same configuration as that of the first embodiment are used.

  8A and 8B are schematic views of the process display bar A displayed by the process management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. In the first embodiment, since the thicknesses By and Cy of the reference bar B and the result bar C are constant along the time axis (direction of height Bx and Cy), the reference bar B and the result bar C are cylindrical It is. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, different thicknesses By, before and after the predetermined timing F of the time axis located between the start end Bs, Cs corresponding to the start and the end end Be, Ce corresponding to the completion, Cy is set. In other words, the reference bar B and the actual bar C are displayed so that the quantity (capacity or actual quantity) changes in the middle of the time series of the process.

  In the example of FIG. 8A, the thickness By, Cy before the timing F (side closer to the start end Bs, Cs) than the thickness By, Cy after the timing F (side near the end end Be, Ce) large. Therefore, the process indication rod A in FIG. 8A indicates that the number of articles handled in the process decreases after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start time.

  In the example of FIG. 8B, the thicknesses By and Cy before the timing F are smaller than the thicknesses By and Cy after the timing F. Therefore, the process indication bar A in FIG. 8B indicates that the number of articles handled in the process increases after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start time.

  The timings F at which the thicknesses By and Cy change are not limited to one, and a plurality of timings F may exist between the corresponding start ends Bs and Cs at the start and the corresponding end ends Be and Ce at the completion.

  As described above, by using the step-like step display rod A, it is possible to clearly indicate to the user that the quantity (value) per unit time changes in the middle of the process.

Fifth Embodiment
In the present embodiment, the display mode of the process indication bar A is changed based on the difference between the sizes of the reference bar B and the performance bar C. In the present embodiment, a process management apparatus 100 and a site management apparatus 20 having the same configuration as that of the first embodiment are used.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic view of a process indication rod A displayed by the process management device 100 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the appearance such as the color or pattern of at least one of the reference bar B and the result bar C is changed based on the difference between the sizes of the reference bar B and the result bar C. The difference in size between the reference bar B and the performance bar C corresponds to the difference in the values indicated by the reference bar B and the performance bar C. Specifically, the process control device 100 calculates the ratio of the actual quantity per unit time indicated by the actual result bar C to the ability indicated by the reference bar B, and the ratio corresponds to any appearance according to a predetermined rule. To determine the performance bar C in the appearance. For example, the appearance rule defines a predetermined appearance according to the degree and direction (positive or negative direction) that the numerical value of the performance bar C deviates from the numerical value of the reference bar B. The appearance rule corresponding to the ratio is recorded in advance in the process control device 100. For example, the appearance G for each range of the ratio is shown in the vicinity of the process indication rod A.

  Not only quantity (value) but also time may be used as a numerical value to be the basis of appearance. In this case, the appearance of the actual result bar C may be changed based on the product of the quantity and the time. Although the appearance of the actual result bar C is changed in FIG. 9, the appearance of the reference bar B may be changed.

  For example, in the present embodiment, at least one of the reference bar B and the performance bar C may be highlighted based on the difference in size between the reference bar B and the performance bar C. More specifically, if the difference between the calculated sizes of the reference bar B and the actual bar C of the target exceeds a predetermined reference (threshold), the process management device 100 determines the other standard bars B and the actual bar. As compared with C, at least one of the reference bar B and the actual bar C of the subject may be highlighted and displayed.

  Although the appearances of the reference bar B and the performance bar C themselves are changed in the example of FIG. 9, the display mode of the reference bar B and the performance bar C may be changed to reflect the difference in their sizes. For example, based on the difference in size between the reference bar B and the performance bar C, the background color of the area including the reference bar B and the performance bar C is changed, a line surrounding the area is displayed, or the area is blinked. Good.

  By changing the display mode of the process display bar A based on the difference between the sizes of the reference bar B and the performance bar C in this manner, the user can view the actual value as the standard value (planned value only by looking at the process display bar A). You can easily grasp how far away from).
